Rascyc posted:Canta Per Me posts great videos, no doubt. I also have no doubt there are going to be people really good with GL too. It's not like "weaker" weapons are so truly terrible across the board as to be unsuable. Hell I'm sure someone will be using Striker Insect Glaive somewhere in this world. What is wrong with Striker Insect Glaive? I was sorta thinking of trying that out.

Lemon-Lime posted:I don't know how anyone could use the IG considering it requires aiming with a thumbstick or worse, the n3DS nub. Aiming is useless. You just angle your hunter and shoot when what you want to hit is in front of you. Like, there's about three monsters in the entire game where it isn't easy to get the extracts you want just by default shooting.

Tender Bender posted:I can't recommend this enough, I used their apps for MH3U and MH4U (they used to publish as "daviancorp") and it changed my Monhun life. You can look up weaknesses and drop rates, key quests, plan your hunts by comparing weapon upgrade paths and the drops you need, build weapon and armor wishlists, even see what nodes in which zones to farm for certain mats. It's way easier to browse on your phone than any of the sites and of course it's a great option for plane/subway/etc travel. I probably sound like a shill but you really should download this. I tried it and it doesn't list Great Jaggi in the list of large monsters. 0/10

Rascyc posted:Isn't a human with a full gathering set better than a prowler for gathering or is the gathering skill on cats that good? Humans are easier to specialize (like you can't get a cat who will emulate the effects of special fishing lures for quite a while, though you can eventually) but Prowlers are totally fire and forget. You never need to buy nets/picks ever again and it feels amazing. Also gathering cats can be built passively and don't require any separate monster parts like building gathering sets does. Cats also move faster and have no stamina. You can, and should, bring a human to fish for the low-rank quests that need poo poo like Brocadefish or Goldenfish but literally any other kind of gathering is better done by a cat.

Though my proudest moment of Generations so far was when I ran into Gyceperos on one of those mindless hunts and Catte-Team 6 took him down

s.i.r.e. posted:Is there a list of all of the styles and their sacrifices? From the game it seems like Guild is 2 Hunter Arts and Striker is 3 but they're easier to charge. It seems like Guild is a pointless style unless I'm missing something. Also, Striker seems fun to have a mix of Arts to use all of the time but god drat if I don't love perfect dodging poo poo with Adept. Striker is incredibly variable and tends to lose some important stuff. Like IG loses the entire A-button. Also IG arts suck.

deadly_pudding posted:It's a trade-off. It means that your damage will suffer during the "everybody go nuts on the monster after it fell over" part of the mounting. Longsword loses its spirit slashes, for example, which are normally its most damaging attacks. You basically lose the ability to use your heaviest attacks with the same precision you could have gotten from the ground. Unless you're IG where you only lose two lovely attacks and gain the ability to be a flying buzzsaw. Aerial IG is so good

Blooming Brilliant posted:So what's the ideal Prowler build then? Is it that boomerang build that GaijinHunter has on his channel? Just want to start moving towards a viable online Prowler build. Fighting or support that has Piercing Boomerang/Big Boomerang as innate moves and most of the skills listed. Fighting or Support depends on whether you'd rather do more damage or charge your gauge faster. You need one that has those skills innately because you can only inherit one move and one skill, and there are really good moves/skills that Fighting and Support types cannot learn inherently.

Yeah, hunts with multiple monsters usually cut their HP down some.

Pollyanna posted:I noticed that I got some Water ammo from the supply box in the Tetsucabra mission. Are the last few items in a supply box random or do they have meaning to the mission? They're all unique to the mission. You usually get bonus ammo the monsters are weak too, sonic bombs for the ones that burrow, nullberries if they use an element, cleanser if they throw poo poo at you, antidotes if they're poisonous etc.. That ends in HR where you stop getting anything but a map, so make sure to actually bring Hot/Cold drinks, healing items, whetstones, ammo, etc. Its for this reason LR quests are good ways to stock up on some poo poo that can be annoying to craft (Tranq bombs/ammo) and why they don't give you real potions/whetstones/traps.

Pollyanna posted:Should I always be trying to aim for the head regardless of weapon, or is it still okay if I hit other body parts? I'm poo poo awful at positioning, and always end up hitting Tetsu's side or legs. I'm wondering if that's why it takes me so long to kill them. Head usually (but not always) takes the most damage so for early monsters yeah. Plus most of them only have head breaks and they drop rare parts from them. If you break Tetsu's big tusks in particular he gets a lot less threatening since his rock balls get way smaller, he scoops slower and when he breaks them you don't stagger. Later on Monsters get more breakable parts you will want to aim for, and being in front of/near their head can sometimes be stupid or impossible.

Also, you sort of need Aerial if you want mounting/IG to be a thing going forward. You can design arenas, but you limit your design space a ton if you have one weapon that can mount on command while everything else is up to the whims of monster AI wandering near convenient jutting rock #9832.

Nevermind, don't trust me at all, but I know they all got some neat tricks and I hope it's enough to make a wider variety of builds viable. Also the new Beast Mode skill which gives the cat a better melee attack set and damage. Also makes them slash with their paws

Dreamy Souffle posted:I'm another one who Capcom will have to pry Prowler from my cold, dead hands. It is incredibly satisfying to take down huge dragons as a bitty cat, please let me keep this. Bring back the crazy poo poo cats could do in 4U. I want my tank buddies back. Honestly, while I like Prowler a lot, I vastly preferred how cats were handled in 4U. A dedicated Ace palico sidekick you got to customize was fun compared to Gen where your first cat just sucks and should never be used. Also Palicos had cooler overall abilities like the tank and their other weird combos. My dream would be to have a 'main' cat again in 5 that you can customize by assigning it other cats which give it an ability each so you can Prowler like now. Or failing at that at least let us search for looks and inclinations capcom

Not the best example since 4 never made it over and we've only had 4U and 'we swear there's no G version' Gen since then  It'll probably come out at some point very late this year or next. Or it could take 16 months and we get it with a Switch port like 3U. Or any number of weird things!
